Notes
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the tequila and orange liqueur, adding extra lime juice or soda water for a fizzy kick.
- For a spicy variation, add fresh jalapeño slices or cayenne pepper to the blender for a spicy kick.
- Feel free to swap cherries for other frozen fruits like mango, peach, or blueberry for a unique twist.
- If you prefer a different sweetener, try agave syrup, honey, or maple syrup as alternatives to simple syrup.
